CURRENT MISSION

Breathing in and breathing out. And try not to get confused!

ABOUT ME

I'm Stefan, a laid back, down-to-earth guy, living in Leipzig. I grew up in a small village in the most beautiful state, Germany has to offer. (At least we like to say that ;)) Basically there's not much to say, I like to get out, meet people and see the world. In order to do that I went to London for a year and then moved to Leipzig to study law. In my free time, I play the piano and the saxophone, Badminton, chess, simply watch a good movie a series or enjoy a beer with nice people. In addition to that I love good conversations. My friends sometimes get annoyed when I once more try to explain them the reason of being or my theories of life, but I can't help it. I'm always looking forward to new input because every theory should be viewed from several perspectives... But enough of that, maybe we get the chance to philosophize about everything and anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I recently discovered the meaning of life: living. Simple, isn't it? So that's exactly what I am doing. Don't worry about the future and don't life in the past. Life's happening right now.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie Top 5: 1. Pulp Fiction. 2. Memento. 3. Snatch. 4. The Departed. 5. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
For books I don't have a top 5 but my all time favorite is Blindness by José Saramago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked with a physically disabled guy in London for a year by helping him to live his life as independent as he possibly can. This taught me the real value of life. You don't have to be "normal" and life's not always easy but if you have the will, the joy and the right people to help and support you, that's everything you need to be truly happy.
